Postgres connection error

See original GitHub issue

While trying to connect to a Heroku Connect Postgres database I am getting the following error:

org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "[my ip]", user "username", database "database", SSL off

I am running DBeaver 3.8.5 on Xubuntu 16.04.

I have tried the PostgreSQL and PostgreSQL (Generic) drivers, and same result. I can use the psql CLI client fine, and I can connect using HeidiSQL from my computer. I can connect successfully to a MySQL server.

Any help would be appreciated.

@lcustodio on the SSL page, set SSL mode: require and either leave the SSL Factory blank or use the org.postgresql.ssl.NonValidatingFactory

Found the problem: Heroku Connect uses SSL. Enabling SSL for the connection is working fine! I guess psql/HeidiSQL were detecting that automatically?
